A time of Lexio devena for the discerning heart.

Wednesday of the fourth week of Easter tide.

As you begin, take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

For the next few moments, surrender all the cares and concerns of this day to the Lord.

Say slowly from your heart, Jesus, I trust in you.

You take over. Become aware that he is with you,

looking upon you with love,

wanting to be heard deep within your heart.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew Chapter 11 verses 25 through 30

Jesus exclaimed, I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth,

for hiding these things from the learned and the clever, and revealing

them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been

entrusted to me by my father, and no one knows the son except the father, just as no one knows

the father except the son, and those to whom the son chooses to reveal him.

Come to me, all you who labor and are overburdened,

and I will give you rest.

Shoulder my yoke and learn from me,

for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.

Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.

What word made this passage come alive for you.

What did you sense the Lord an opportunity to speak to you.
